FRIDAY, JI'LV 21. 189(1.
Time to Prepare.
Addison says, “wbat sculpture is to j
a block of marble, education it to a 1
human soul. The philosopher, the !
saint, and the great man, very often
lie hid and concealed in a plebeian,
which a proper education might have
disturbed and brought to light.”
Your sou may have the elements
of mind and character within him
which, if awaken and cultivated, will
lift him into the highest position of
state or church or science or litera
ture, and, yet if allowed to mature
untrained, will disgrace your name
or leave it blank in the minds of men.
Your daughter may have in h r the
excellencies which, if drawn out by
the suttle powers of training, will
make her a jewel in the home, a
blazing light in the church and a star
in society; hut which if allowed to
languish and dwarf in the narrow
coniines of ignorance, will hishonor
her parent;! and east a blight on the
home of her bil lh.
fna few weeks, the schools and
colleges of our state will throw open
their doors to Iho youth of the coun
try. The cities and cultured districts
are hegining to prepare to take ad
vantage of these sources of education
by placing their sons and daughters
in the public schools and colleges
which have been brought so easily
within their reach. Educated peo
ple know the value of these institu
tions and they are all alert to take
advantage of the opportunities for
their offspring. They realize that
their boys and girls are rapidly ap
proaching manhood and womanhood
and that unless this day is used iti
preparing them for life, another day
will never come in which amends
may he made foi the negligence of
the present. This year your boy may
he sent away to college and his edu
cation assured. Next year your bov
muy not he able or he may not he
willing. By that time lie may linye
entered into business which will dc
harr him for another year, and anoth
er yeni he will have left you and his
possibilities for greatness be gone for
ever. Your daughter is just begin
ing to emerge from childhood. She
is ripe and ready for the liiet classes
in college. Next year she will he
wearing long dresses and
her statute be full grown. Her
mind lias not advanced in proportion
and now she is ashamed to enter the
lower classes where most of the girls
are small. She would have gone lasi
year, but now her sensitive, nature
shrinks from the ordeal into which
she will bo brought. You do not want
to mortify her and alas! her oppor
tunities are gone—gone forever.
She must henceforth he classed among
the ignorant. Her aspirations for
culture and refinement are blighted
and her sweet dreams of chilhood
are to end in the common drudgery
of the stupid. She must be a child,
a simpleton forevermore.
It now costs only a few hundred
dollars to educate a boy or girl in a
college course. There arc plenty of
men in Coffee county amply able to
do this much for their children. It is
infinitely better than to set them up
in busines or to give them a tract of
land. A good education is better
than half the land in Coffee county.
The colleges are right at your
doors. There are Andrew and Wes
leyan colleges for the girls within a
few hours ride, and Emory and Mer
cer hardly out of sight.
Get the boys and girls ready and
send them to college this fall and
next spring you will be proud of
them.
President Faure of the French re
public was hired on while en route to a
public fete man open carriage. The
would be assassin was promptly* ar
rested, but claimed that the cartridges
Tired were blank and he only wished
to arrest the attention of presi
dent.
Bryan is a practical Christian and
would grace the presidency of a Chris
tian nation.
i Let us. keep cool and do the right
tiling even if it hurls us.
The right, always demands respect
and will eventually succeed.
Brooks Paulk says the county will;
go democratic by a safe majority.
Brantley’s letter of acceptance is a
straight forward democratic document,
——M-ar—m ■ —i—
F. B. Police! was adjudged insane by
Judge John Vickers Wednesday a >
week ago.
.Mr. Bryan is a model husband and
father. lie is a typical American in
every sense.
The populists really didn't want
•‘harmony”: they waited to beat
the democrats.
Jn the mad rush of politics let us
not forget our educational iuteicsi
and Christianity.
If the popuusts want free silver
they can best attain it by coming back
into the democratic party.
The ladies must heat with politics
a little while and then the men will
again lend them supreme attention.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has been
stricken with paralysis and the physi
cians arc consulting over hint.
Briggs was nominated in the Second
by a large majority. Walters vote
was in keeping with his person—ban
toiu-like.
That little “harmony” scheme of
the populists fixed for the 25th did
not pan out. It was too easy to see
through.
Thomas county goes for the Bush
bill and against bar rooms. Now we
arc in favor oi Judge Hopkins for
President of the Senate.
The Pierce county populists have
declared for H. W, IL.ed for congress.
It looks like Jdilikin will have to hus
tle if ho gets the nomination.
The anti-barroom bill is going to
win in the legislature this fall and wo
will have a prohibition suite. Then
the Lord will cause his face to shine
upon us.
Mr. Brantley has acquiesced in the
democratic majority and will make
the race on the platform, This is all
light and he will bo elected by a
handsome majority.
When Mr. Bryan was separated
from his wife and children in the St.
Louis depot by the surging crowd,
lie paid no attention to the multitudes
till he had found his darlings.
The negroes already appreciate the
stiaight toward action of the democrat
ic executive committee and more of
them will vote with the democrats in
October than ever has before.
Clinch county populists all returned
to the democratic party and voted in
the primary. Out of 950 registered
voters, over 800 voted in the democrat
ic primary. Lot the Coffee county
populists do the same if they waul
harmony and free silver.
Brantley is a brilliant Georgian,
lie will go to congress. The popu
lists will not be able to defeat him if
he is a candidate, though they arc
laying plans to that end. The Press
is for voting men every time. In the
Eleventh let the battle cry be Bryan
and Brantley.—Savannah Press.
While the populists were pleading
to the public for “harmony" in a no
tice they had sent to the papers for
publication, they wore plea ting with
I one brother to run against another
j for the legislature Don’t try to
scheme on us. Pops: we 1. ve out ■*
on you. Let’s make it a fair deal,
and if you beat us. all right.
The primary is just cue week off.
Let the democrats turn out tomor
row week and nominate the strongest
men and after the primary settle on
the nominees with nit a word of dis
cord, and we shall as certainly win in
• in the October election as a majority
; is greater than a minority.
